Now entering its ninth year, the crisis in north-east Nigeria has created vulnerabilities and humanitarian concerns, since the first Boko Haram insurgency in 2009. While scaled-up and fast response by aid groups and the Government helped avert the threat of famine in 2017, food insecurity and malnutrition remain high owing to the depredation of the conflict. An estimated 7.7 million people are in acute need of protection and assistance. The conflict in the Lake Chad Basin has displaced around 2.2 million people, 1.6 million in Nigeria’s northeast alone. Hundreds of thousands of Nigerians have fled to neighbouring Chad, Cameroon and Niger. Sexual violence, including rape, is a defining characteristic of the ongoing conflict, with 6 out of 10 women in the northeast having experienced one or more forms of gender-based violence (GBV). UNFPA supported 58 mobile clinics through our mobile outreach teams and will continue its strong presence in the GBV sub-cluster and sexual and reproductive health / Minimum Initial Service Package working group in 2018.
